After you and Night Watch got back to the house, you instantly flopped on to the sofa and let out a relaxed sigh. All of a sudden you feel a familiar weight come crashing down on you. You close your eyes from the impact of the weight, when you open one eye you see Night Watch laying on top of you.
“Geez… do you have to abuse me all the time?” you say jokingly.
“Hey, someone's got to keep you from misbehaving.” She replies with a giggle.
“When do I ever misbehave?”
“All the time,” Night Watch says giving you a quick kiss and laying her head on your chest.
You roll your eyes at that statement and give Night Watch a quick peck on the head. Soon however, you notice that her eyes are closed, and has quickly drifted off to sleep… right on top of you. You roll your eyes again with a sigh and try to get her off, but you know it’s not going to happen, considering she wrapped herself around you.
With a quick chuckle at how cute the sight was, even though you’ve seen it hundreds of times before, you close your eyes, and lay your head back, ready to catch a few Z’s.

A sudden loud knock on the door wakes you up. You groggily look down to your chest to see that Night is still fast asleep. You’ve tried a number of times to get her off you, but she wasn't going to let go of you anytime soon.
Knocks came from the door again, waking you up completely. You can tell the pony behind it is getting impatient. But then you see that the door isn't fully shut. Dammit.. Night Watch didn't shut the door properly again...
“Doors open!” you say loudly, making Night Watch ster abit.
The door opens slowly revealing Captain Moon Side. Once he noticed You and Night Watch on the sofa a chuckles a little.
“Good morning.” He says.
“Mornin’.”
“Is she still asleep?” Moon Side ask quietly, which you respond with a nod. “Have you two slept on the sofa all night?”
“Yeah pretty much.”
“So how have you been, Cass?” He asked before sitting in the arm chair.
“Ehh.. I’ve been good,” you say, “I kinda had a big argument with this one though.” You continue looking at Night Watch, stroking her mane slowly. “But we got through it.”
“Really?” He said with interest. “What did you guys argue about?”
“I’d rather not talk about it.”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s personal business.” You say starting to get annoyed.
“Alright, fine.”
“Is there a reason for why you came here?” you ask looking at him.
“Oh, I just needed to talk to Night Watch”
“About what?” you ask, raising an eyebrow.
“Just work related business.” He shrugs and relaxes on the chair “Its just going over the basic of being a captain and all the responsibilities.”
“Well you’re going to have to wait for a while,” you say, looking over a Night Watch who is still asleep, you can tell by the look on her face that she is in a deep sleep, also the drool dripping from the corner of her mouth is enough to tell.
“I don’t mind,” He says getting more relaxed into the chair, Yeah.. well I kinda do
You two sit in silence for awhile waiting for Night Watch to wake up from her slumber. You've pretty much tried everything to try and wake her up, such as trying to move her, shaking her and poking her face but nothing seems to work. I could pinch her nose… no, no, that’s a last resort.
“Hey, Cass. You got a job yet?”
You turn your head over to the captain and look at him in shock from the random question.
“Uhh.. No, I haven’t yet.”
“Ohh.”
“Why do you ask?”
“Well,” he starts sitting up on the chair “it seems a little embarrassing that your girlfriend is bringing in more money than you.”
“Why would that be embarrassing?”
“It kind of shows who wears the horseshoes in the relationship.”
This started to frustrated you a bit. The fact that he asked you if you had a job didn't bother you at first, but when he brought your relationship into the conversation, that’s when your frustration started to build.
“I mean… if I was in a relationship I would want to be the one who brought the money in,” He said continuing his statement.
“Hmpm… ass,” you say under your breath looking down and stroking Night Watch's mane.
Apparently he was able to hear you and sits up on the chair a looks at with a slight angry look. “What did you just say?”
You look over at him and say, “Huh? oh.. nothing,” you then look down again but speak louder so he can hear. “Just saying how much of a cock you are.”
“Oh Yeah!” He says standing up a look down at you, because you’re still laying down on the sofa “Why don’t you stand up and say that to my face! or is your girlfriend to heavy for your little body to handle.”
You use a small amount of force as you get Night Watch off you and gentle put her down on the sofa. You then turn around to look at the captain, you still had to look up since he is taller than you by a few inches.
“I said you’re a mule who is too wrapped up in his own ego!” You yell look straight into his eyes.
“OH! is that so?! I have a stable job, what do you have? Your girlfriend bringing the bits.” He said hoping that It would strike a nerve… but it didn't, “and my parents actually loved me and my mother didn't abandon me!”
Now that struck a nerve. It was true your parents didn't care for you much, they wouldn't acknowledge your existence sometimes and it didn’t take long until your own mother left you with your dad. The only time they would pay attention to you was when they were either angry or drunk.
“Don’t you DARE TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY!” you shout giving him the death stare “I MAY NOT OF HAD THE BEST FAMILY IN THE WORLD! BUT AT LEAST I’M SORTED NOW! UNLIKE YOU!”
He looks at you with confusion “Did you not hear what I just said?!”
“Oh I heard you! Good job blah blah blah and all that shit! But I’ve got a girlfriend who loves me.” You say giving a slight smile from the look on his face “What do you have? nothing! You go around chasing girls who don’t even glance at you!”
He doesn't even say anything he just looks away and looks at Night Watch. You stare at him for while until your brain finally clicks… He… he has a crush on Night Watch!
“OHHHhhh!” you say catching his attention
“W-What?”
“I know how it is. You’re chasing someone you know you can’t have!”
“I AM NOT!” He shouts “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“OHH PLEASE! I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE-”
“ENOUGH!!!” A voice shouts behind you two, ending the conversation immediately.
You both look over to see Night Watch standing on the sofa, giving you both a look of anger. You have never seen her this angry before.
“I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL THIS NOISE OUT OF YOU TWO!” she says getting off the couch and standing in between the two of you. She then turn to look at her captain “Look, I appreciate the concern of our finance but we are fine with the money that I’m making.”
Moon Side was about to object but he just sighed and said “Okay. I’m Sorry.”
“And you!” Night watch said turning towards you. “I want you to apologize to Moon Side”
“Why?” You say quickly.
“What do you mean why?”
“What do I need to apologize for?”
For yelling at him and calling him an ass and a cock.” Night Watch says giving you a glare, to which you just roll your eyes and look away from the both of them.
There was a bit of a silence until Night Watch shouts “NOW, CASS!” which makes you jump slightly as it was just so sudden. You give Night Watch another ‘I not going to’ look but she backfired with ‘You better do it if you don’t want your leg broken again’. You roll your eyes again and look at Moon.
“I’m sorry”
“I accept your apology.” He says
“So was there something that you wanted to talk to me about, sir?” Night Watch asks turning towards him
“I just came to to explain what you’ll be doing as a captain… but after what happened I think we should go over it tomorrow.” He says before walking to the door.
“NO!” Night Watch says “I want to know it now so I’ll know what I’ll be doing tomorrow”
“Well.. okay..” Moon Side says slowly “But it’s going to take a while.” He then comes back to the sofa. “But I really feel like I’m not welcome” He says looking at you, You give him an slightly angry face.
Night Watch looks at you with disapproving face and looks back at her captain “Ohh don’t worry about it. Take a seat”. He nods and does what she tells him. “Hey, Cass” Night Watch say turning towards you “Can you make us some tea?”, knowing how angry you are she gives you a cute little smile.
You just give a sigh and walk towards to kitchen but before you do Night Watch wrapped her arms around your neck and gave you a quick kiss on the cheek, obviously trying to calm you down a bit.
As you walk into the kitchen you grab three cups, three tea bags and put the kettle on. You pretty much chucked the tea bag into the cup, because you were still angry. After the water was boiled you poured it into the cups, and grab some milk from the fridge. Once the tea was made you you grab two of the cups and bring them back the front room and placed them in front of Night Watch and Moon Side.
“Thank you, Sweetie.” Night Watch say grabbing her cup
“Thanks, Cass.” The Captain said grabbing his.
“You’re Welcome” You say looking at Moon … Prick You say to yourself as you went back to the kitchen to grab your cup.
--
As your girlfriend and Moon Watch talked about what the duties of being a Captain are, you sat next to Night Watch, reading the newspaper at least trying to pay attention to what was being said, because it was quite interesting.
“And that pretty much it.” Moon Side said finishing up.
“Okay. I completely understand what needs to be done.” Night Watch says smiling.
“I know you’ll be a great Captain.” said Moon, You roll your eye from that kiss ass remark.
“So, are there any questions you have?” Asks Captain Side
Night puts her hoof to her chin and starts to think “NNNNope! Every question I was going to ask has been answered.”
“Well that great. I’ve got to head off but-”
“I got a question!” You interrupt Moon Side and slamming the paper down on the coffee table.
“Cass.. please.” Night Watch says grabbing your arm.
“I-It’s okay.” Moon Side said smiling. “What's your question?”
“How did you know my mother abandoned me?!” You say angry.
Night Watch quickly grabs your arm tighter while whispering, “Cass… don’t… please.”
“Well… ermm… you see…” He says trailing off screaching the back of his neck trying to think of an excuse “I just-”
“If you say ‘it was a lucky guess’, I’m gonna break your wing!” You say, which makes Night Watch look at you with pure shock and anger.
“Because you said it very confidently like you knew that my mother abandoned me.” Moon Side starts looking around the room still looking for a new excuse “Because I’ve never told anyone about my foal hood, not even Night Watch! So TELL ME HOW YOU KNEW!” you shout getting up from the sofa and starting dead eyes at Moon Side.
“CASS! STOP!” Night Watch says getting in front of you.
“NO! NIGHT WATCH!” you say the flying over her and landing in front of the captain “TELL ME HOW YOU KNEW!"
“CASS STOP IT!” Night Watch screams grabbing you and tries to pull you away from Moon Side, but to know avail.
“I went through your file…. what does it matter?”
“WHAT DOES IT MATTER!” You shout in his face “Did you really just fucking say that?!!”
“CASS!” Night Watch screams still trying to pull you away. “STOP!”
“The fact that you went through a file, MY PERSONAL FILE, and read up about me to probably use for whatever reason means NOTHING?!”
Some silents falls and you’re waiting for him to explain why he went through your file. Moon Side slowly looks at you and says, “Because I wanted to protect Night Watch…”
“From what?! What could you possibly protect her from? we are perfectly fine!” you say raising an eyebrow in anger, while Night Watch looks from you to her Captain with curiosity.
It didn't take long him to shout “To protect her from you!”
